LESLIE JAMES ODOWD, OF DRUMMONDVILLE, QUEBEC, CANADA, ASSIGNORTO CELANESE CORPORATION OF AMERICA, A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE I TEXTILE PACKAGE HOLDER -App1ication filed July 13,

This invention relates to textile package holders and particularly to boards for bolding pirns, bobbins, etc.

An object of my invention is to provide a 5 pirn board which board is of simple construction, light in weight, strong and cheaply manufactured. Other objects of my invention will appear from the following detailed description.

In accordance with my invention, I provide a board for the reception of pirns or other textile packages which board comprises a base made in two sections which are hinged together, and to which pegs for the reception of the pirns or other textile packages are fastened. These pegs are preferably made in couples, presenting substantially a U shape and are inserted through the base of the board from the back in such a manner as to have their horizontal or connecting portions sunk into grooves prepared for their reception on the back side of the board.

In order to further illustrate my invention,

reference is had to the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of the pirn board.

Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal vertical section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is the section along the line 33 of Figure 1 and Figure 4 is a cross section similar to that of Figure 3 as showing the two sections of the base at angles to each other in a partly closed position.

The pirn board comprises the base 1 preferably made of plywood to insure greater strength and durability. The base 1 is made preferably in two sections and each of the sections has two longitudinal grooves 2 cut on the underside thereof and of sufficient depth wholly to receive the horizontal portion 4 of the U shaped members having the legs 3, which form pegs for the reception of the pirns, bobbins, or other textile packages. These U shaped members are driven through holes which are previously drilled. These holes are preferably of such small size and the grooves 2 are preferably so narrow that the legs 3 and the horizontal portion 4 of the 50 U shaped member make a driving fit with 1928. Serial No. 292,373.

them. The grooves 2 are of suificient depth so that the horizontal portions 4 lie along the grooves and do not project from the under surface of the board. Although the members 3, 4 are described as being U shaped, it

will be seen from the drawing that the horizontal portion 4 is at substantially right angles to the legs 3.

The U shaped members 3, 4 are preferably made of stainless steel; but, however, they 6t may be made of any other suitable metal or alloy and preferably of one that resists corrosion. If they are made of metal that tends to corrode, they should preferably be painted with a protective substance. An adhesive cement is preferably used to coat that part of the base of the pegs 3 and the horizontal portion 4 which comes in contact with the base 1 in order to secure the pegs thoroughly. The

two sections of the base 1 are joined by hinges 5 which permits their being folded back so that the two inner rows of packages may be readily seen or inspected. The hinges 5 may be of metal or of any suitable material which would function as a hinge, for instance, 7 leather strips. The hinges 5 are preferably sunk flush with the surface of the board, so that the board may stand flat on a table or other surface. If desired, more than two sections may be used in making the base. As

a result of this construction a convenient pirn board of great strength and durability is economically made.

It is to be understood that the foregoing detailed description is given merely by Way of illustration and that many variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent embedded wholly within said groove and are held in position by a driving fit with said oove.

2. In a board for the reception of textile packages, the combination of two sections of plywood forming the base thereof and having longitudinal grooves on the underside, hinges joining said sections and substantially U shaped members mounted in said board and having the horizontal portions thereof embedded in said grooves, and firmly secured thereto by an adhesive. 6

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
